To reproduce this issue just do the following:

 % wget http://torrents.linuxmint.com/torrents/linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso.torrent
 % rtorrent linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-64bit.iso.torrent
 (Wait until the torrent finishes)
 % sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 (Rehash the torrent (Ctrl-R))
 The torrent doesn't rehash successfully and a few hunks are
 missing/corrupted and need to be downloaded again.
